@Zxyrra the last part is more offensive to me than the FFS part

AccidentalFourierTransform

wow whats up with the random people?

Riker

flags

Emilio Pisanty

See, this is what happens. One quick comment, and three separate 10k+ers come in, and discussion turns into what is and isn't on topic, instead of what we were talking about.

we all drop this and move on

0celo7

@dmckee @DavidZ @rob @ACuriousMind Maybe fix the star board.

AccidentalFourierTransform

cmon people, keep it professional

Riker

9:02 PM

@AccidentalFourierTransform read up for the message that looks like it would get flags

Mladen

Well, my bad. This escalated waaay to quickly. I apologise.

skill patrol

WTF

Relax.

AccidentalFourierTransform

ok, back to physics

did I tell you people that I love ketchup?

0celo7

@skillpatrol Holy shit you're back

Mladen

and now for something completely different: Does anyone else get security warnings for SE sites?

Zxyrra

9:04 PM

"back to phyiscs -> ketchup" lol

0celo7

What did @ThomasWard say that made you "WTF"

Riker

@Mladen is it using HTTPS?

@0celo7 the fact that it got a "WTF" and then was deleted makes me think it shouldn't be quoted...

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 he didnt say anything. It was a "16 messages moved to trash" message

Emilio Pisanty

aaaaaaaaaanyways

Riker

@Mladen do you mean a warning that says the HTTPS certificate is invalid/out of date?

Emilio Pisanty

9:05 PM

is this the sort of statement that will get me a bunch of angry readers?

0celo7

@AccidentalFourierTransform Indeed.

skill patrol

Is that a steeler logo @Riker

Mladen

@Riker yeah, something along those lines. Didn't memorise it

Emilio Pisanty

@Mladen main or meta?

Mladen

@EmilioPisanty both actually

AccidentalFourierTransform

9:06 PM

@Mladen are you browsing naughty sites again?

Emilio Pisanty

@Mladen https on meta is not available

Mladen

@AccidentalFourierTransform constantly. Still trying to figure out how to photograph a photon

Riker

@skillpatrol yes

@Mladen yeah, it's because meta.SE doesn't support HTTPS

Emilio Pisanty

Q: Better HTTPS support for Stack Exchange sites

So it looks like Stack Exchange now supports HTTPS (to some extent). Which is awesome! But there are a few problems, the main one being that some content is delivered over the CDN, which is plain HTTP. This causes browsers to complain about "unsecured content":

Did you watch the super bowl @Riker

Riker

9:08 PM

@skillpatrol boycotted bc patriots

skill patrol

You missed a great show.

Riker

oh I did watch the halftime

that was... interesting.

I always watch the halftime show, even if I don't watch the rest for whatever reason

skill patrol

~~show~~ SCAM

AccidentalFourierTransform

great performance by lady gaga

0celo7

@Riker why

Riker

9:10 PM

because I don't like the patriots :P

skill patrol

They cheat.

Riker

^

and @skillpatrol why'd 0celo7 say "holy shit you're back"?

skill patrol

Because I've been gone.

0celo7

@skillpatrol prove it

skill patrol

180 days

Twice as long as you

Riker

9:12 PM

ah

AccidentalFourierTransform

@skillpatrol banned or busy?

skill patrol

That's what happens when you fight authority

ArtOfCode

sigh

Riker

ok were there mod flags this time

ArtOfCode

it's been a while

Riker

9:14 PM

or did art just pop in to say hi

AccidentalFourierTransform

again? who flagged what?

Mladen

wasn't me

ArtOfCode

I've just seen the stuff from 15 minutes ago

Riker

ah okay

Mladen

well in that case it was me.

Riker

9:15 PM

well then hello art

@Mladen nah I was talking about who flagged it, not whose messages were flagged

skill patrol

Not very artistic :P

Riker

what are you talking about look at this piece of art

beautiful piece of Art's body

ArtOfCode

...wat

Mladen

@Riker well in that case it wasn't me again

Riker

@ArtOfCode wait you don't look like that in real life?

I thought everybody looked like their avatars

Loong

9:17 PM

@Riker I do.

Mladen

@Riker I admit it, i know what the fox says.

Riker

I personally am a cat with a steelers sign and picasso's paint on me

@Mladen gasp

@Loong see art?

Loong

Riker

OH GOD THIS CHAT HAS A TICKER

WHY DOES THIS CHAT HAVE A TICKER

@Loong very handsome

skill patrol

Stop shouting

0celo7

9:19 PM

@skillpatrol whom did you fight and why?

AccidentalFourierTransform

@Loong ah, I want a shirt too :-(

Riker

are we seriously going to bring up bans after we dropped the chat about flags?

skill patrol

@0celo7 There are tooooo many mods here now pal

0celo7

@skillpatrol Are you scared?

ArtOfCode

that sounds like a wonderfully bad idea

skill patrol

9:23 PM

@0celo7 raiders fear nobody

0celo7

Then I don't see the issue. Can @ArtOfCode point to the exact piece of legislation that prevents members from peacefully talking about their bans?

skill patrol

Remember we are the nation.

ArtOfCode

there ain't one, @0celo7

you may talk about bans peacefully if you wish to

Mladen

I have no Idea what's happening right now.

AccidentalFourierTransform

0celo7

9:26 PM

Then I'm not sure what "that sounds like a wonderfully bad idea" is supposed to mean.

skill patrol

Stop asking questions

NOW

Riker

@0celo7 the "are you scared" part maybe

@skillpatrol okay

ArtOfCode

@0celo7 a reference to the fact that such topics are rarely discussed peacefully

skill patrol

>8(

0celo7

@skillpatrol You need to calm down.

skill patrol

9:29 PM

Authority always wins

15 mins ago, by skill patrol

That's what happens when you fight authority

0celo7

You're a little over the top, don't you think?

@ArtOfCode is not a bad mod.

skill patrol

again with the questions

0celo7

What?

AccidentalFourierTransform

again with the questions

skill patrol

What?

again with the questions

:P

0celo7

9:38 PM

@ArtOfCode Can you please remove my accidental profanity from the star board?

boom

Thanks.

@skillpatrol What?

0celo7

10:30 PM

@skillpatrol mods are gone

skill patrol

@0celo7 I told you already

0celo7

Told me what?

I thought you were dead.

skill patrol

Who I fought.

0celo7

Did you do it for John's honor?

skill patrol

I made new accounts

Go for it.

AccidentalFourierTransform

10:36 PM

(removed)

skill patrol

I know

(removed)

0celo7

> (removed) was born in 1917 in a village to the
north of Tokyo. He studied theoretical physics at
the Imperial University of Tokyo. After several
years of inactivity during World War 11 due to
poor health, he joined the Faculty of Science at
the University of Tokyo in 1951.

"Poor health"

sounds like a draft dodger to me

AccidentalFourierTransform

lol

Loong

@0celo7 World War Eleven?

0celo7

@Loong He's from the future.

skill patrol

10:40 PM

Yes, it was fought with sticks and stones :P

AccidentalFourierTransform

he was born in the next 1917

Who are the last three?

skill patrol

Three sons

0celo7

Ugh, what is with these 600 page tomes

AccidentalFourierTransform

bastard childs

0celo7

@skillpatrol Why break up the children into groups?

@AccidentalFourierTransform This makes sense.

skill patrol

No idea.

Two authors, two wives, etc

AccidentalFourierTransform

10:48 PM

children*

0celo7

@skillpatrol one author

skill patrol

Ok, two wives...

but it says "our" wives?

0celo7

Saudi prince speaking in Royal third person obviously.

skill patrol

We are not amused

0celo7

Why?

0celo7

11:14 PM

@AccidentalFourierTransform so you want to learn geometry?

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 I'm not sure I want. I know that I should

I learnt the basics a couple of years ago

0celo7

what do you know?

AccidentalFourierTransform

but I havent used it since, so Ive forgotten everything

0celo7

and why should you?

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 mostly just the definitions. I dont think I ever got to prove any big theorem.

@0celo7 because I want to be a theoretical physicist =P

0celo7

11:18 PM

@AccidentalFourierTransform what's a "big theorem"?

@AccidentalFourierTransform most of them don't really know geometry I bet

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 any non-trivial theorem I guess

I dont think I ever went through the proof of Stokes for example

0celo7

That's a black box, but the technique is invaluable for geometric analysis

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 i want to be the very best like no one ever was

0celo7

or just geometry in general

@AccidentalFourierTransform I think Witten has you beat there already

AccidentalFourierTransform

Ill probably read Wald this summer

or is it too advanced for me?

0celo7

11:21 PM

@AccidentalFourierTransform Can you state the Heine-Borel theorem?

AccidentalFourierTransform

nope

0celo7

have you heard of it?

AccidentalFourierTransform

dont remember. Maybe, but I dont think so

0celo7

are you in high school? undergrad?

AccidentalFourierTransform

I dont know almost anything about topology

I graduated last year

0celo7

11:23 PM

from?

AccidentalFourierTransform

master on theoretical physics now

0celo7

wow, and you haven't had topology?

I thought that European schools did insane analysis, topology, and algebra courses for all science majors in undergrad

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 Madrid University, nothing fancy

@0celo7 Spain is barely Europe :-P

all I know I learnt by myself

I havent had any formal course on diff. geom

0celo7

@AccidentalFourierTransform so is Portugal and @BernardoMeurer is doing Poincare-Hopf before knowing what a manifold is

even barely European schools are crazy

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 I dont know what B. is up to

who knows what his professors have in mind

but that sounds crazy

the most sophisticated thing we did in class is Taylor's theorem

or cauchy's theorem

0celo7

11:29 PM

@AccidentalFourierTransform ...which one?

AccidentalFourierTransform

the $\oint$ one

0celo7

If you did complex analysis then you should know Heine-Borel

or did you not give proofs?

AccidentalFourierTransform

we had lots of proofs, but up to physicists standards

very little topology involved

0celo7

...I'm sorry, you might be ruined

AccidentalFourierTransform

reading about HB now

"closed and bounded is equiv to compact"

0celo7

11:32 PM

in $\Bbb R^n$

AccidentalFourierTransform

heck, I thought that "closed and bounded" was the definition of "compact"

@0celo7 agree

0celo7

@AccidentalFourierTransform no

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 well now I know!

0celo7

closed and bounded does not imply compact in $\Bbb R-\{0\}$

AccidentalFourierTransform

but it does in $\mathbb R$. I just learnt that.

meh, I dont want to get a Nobel. All I want is to have fun and make enough money to feed my 27 cats

0celo7

11:37 PM

27 is too many

maybe reduce that number a bit

AccidentalFourierTransform

I think we are alone now

do something bad

Loong

AccidentalFourierTransform

0celo7

what did you do?

AccidentalFourierTransform

11:45 PM

we were not, in fact, alone

0celo7

swastikas?

skill patrol

worse

0celo7

make america great again?

AccidentalFourierTransform

swastikas are not bad. 卐 means peace

0celo7

It's for peace

skill patrol

11:47 PM

In India

AccidentalFourierTransform

no, in the neck

Nicole Cheng

lol

skill patrol

Charles Manson had one tattooed in the middle of his forehead.

AccidentalFourierTransform

welcome

0celo7

I'm not as brave as Mr. Manson

AccidentalFourierTransform

11:53 PM

the wiki article on swastikas is great

the right column: "swastikas, part of a series on

Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Nazism"

well, that escalated quickly...

0celo7

@AccidentalFourierTransform you should learn some topology before Wald

AccidentalFourierTransform

@0celo7 really? oh well, seems Im not reading Wald then

topology sucks

0celo7

take that back you

what could possibly be wrong with topology

AccidentalFourierTransform

topology is the worst. Fight me.

0celo7

I will win

I have the awesome combination of German fighting spirit and American weaponry

AccidentalFourierTransform

you think? I have 27 cats to back me up
